Your Dog’s Friend is now offering in-person Puppy Party! We can’t wait to see you and your puppies again!
- Masks must be worn at all times
- Only one family member per dog
- Please review additional COVID-19 policies here

– P.B., Washington, DC
About this Class:
Here’s a class where your puppy can play with other compatible puppies and with you, while an instructor supervises. Watching the puppies, you will learn about play styles, appropriate play, and dog body language.
It is good for puppies up to 6 months or with the instructor’s permission.
Please note the weight requirements for each Puppy Party. Some Puppy Parties are for puppies under 20 pounds, and others are for puppies 20+ pounds. If you are not sure which class your puppy should join, please email us for guidance.
Please look carefully at the date you are registering for and please register in advance. If you register for a Puppy Party but later realize that you won’t be able to attend, please email us as far in advance as possible to cancel, as other puppies may be hoping for a spot. In order to receive a refund or a credit, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance so that we have the best chance of finding another puppy to take the spot, thus boosting our chances of having a potential play match for each puppy in these limited-enrollment sessions.
Since there is off-leash play, dogs in this class must be good with other dogs.
Class fees help support the free programs and services provided by Your Dog’s Friend, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and supporting dog parents.
